subject: Tighten Any Area Of Your Body With Body Contouring Plastic Surgery Procedures [print this page] A body lift procedure is very similar to a face lift. The only difference is that it involves the center of the body. A body lift, specifically is the surgical contouring of the abdomen, thighs, arms, and breasts in order to remove hanging, excess skin. The procedure itself is designed for people that have lost a large amount of weight either through gastric bypass surgery or through exercise and dieting. A significant loss of weight will often leave people with excessive, saggy, and unsightly skin that does not conform to their new, thinner figures. Another type of person who is a candidate for a body lift may be those who have sagging, excessive skin as a result of pregnancy or the normal aging process. As people age, their skin stops producing collagen, proteins, and elastin that are needed to keep skin toned and tight.
Whether your loose, sagging, or stretched skin is the result of significant loss of weight, pregnancy, or aging, a body lift is capable of helping you get your body contours back to normal. It will also provide you with smoother, tighter, younger looking skin. Cosmetic surgeons are capable of performing full body lifts or area specific surgery in the following areas: thighs, arms, abdomen, buttock, and breasts. An important thing to note is that many cosmetic surgeons tailor each body lift to meet the health and aesthetic needs and goals of their patients. If you require further information about a body lift procedure, you should set up a consultation with a plastic surgeon.
You may be an excellent candidate for a full body lift if you have sagging, excessive skin in multiple areas around your body or overall your skin has lost it's elasticity. This also depends on your general health as well. A full body lift procedure provides dramatic aesthetic results because the surgery tightens every area on the body where there is excessive, sagging skin.
An arm lift, or brachioplasty is another body contouring procedure that is designed to remove sagging and excessive skin from the upper arm that often results from aging or weight loss. An arm lift is able to give your arms the shapely contours that you may not have seen in a long time or have never had.
If you are often self-conscious about the way that your thighs look and there is an excessive amount of loose skin that shakes or hangs when you walk, a thigh lift could be a very beneficial procedure to you. A thighplasty is a very popular choice among individuals seeking tighter, sleeker legs. The goal of the surgery is to remove the "dimpled" cellulite look that you have on your thighs. In addition liposuction may also be performed for even better results.
